Integrals of Exponential

Functions

We know that if then . Therefore . We rewrite the


equation by interchanging its two sides and then
integrate:

Example. Evaluate .
Solution. Let . Then . Substitution gives

Exercise. Verify that .

General exponential function


The function is called the natural exponential function.
When the base is any number with we call the function the
general exponential function.
Recall that . From this derivative formula it is easy to derive
the integration formula
